The best of my songs are more than just a joke. There's something else going on - a character, or it's not just a plain joke.

Crank up the Beach Boys, Baby.

I once had dinner with Madonna and I wasn't nervous but within about a minute I found myself talking about underwear.

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!

But I don't want to sing everything out of the side of my mouth, I want people to understand what I mean.

Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.

I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.
